CHICOPEE – Lottery tickets, stolen early Sunday during a break-in to the Honeyland Farms convenience store on Newbury Street, yielded over $600 in cash when they were cashed in a few hour later at a store in Springfield’s Bay neighborhood.

Sgt. Jeffrey A. Nadeau said that a security video recorded the break-in at the 206 Newbury St. store shortly after 1:30 a.m. The video, which shows two suspects inside the store, is dark and does not provide much detail, he said.

The suspects broke in through the store’s glass front door to gain entry. Along with lottery tickets, the suspects stole cigarettes and a small safe, Nadeau said.

The winning tickets in the stolen batch, some $652 worth, were cashed in about 4½ hours later at the Racing Mart store at 475 St. James Ave. in Springfield, Nadeau said.

The tickets were cashed in before the theft had been reported and video at the Springfield store was not available, Nadeau said.

Somebody attempted to break into the same Honeyland store by kicking in a window last Monday about 3:30 a.m. but entry was not gained, Nadeau said.

Several hours later somebody broke into the Fairview Deli at 193 Fairview Ave., and stole lottery tickets, Nadeau said.
